“We have started multiple programmes to protect the environment like PM Surya Ghar Yojana, Railway Electrification, PM e-Bus, promotion of EVs, Ethanol and Bio-fuel promotion among others. Through these programmes, our citizens will benefit from the opportunity to live in a clean environment.”
This is an umbrella commitment referencing a set of environment-linked programmes that are individually tracked elsewhere - PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (rooftop solar), railway electrification, PM-eBus Sewa, EV promotion (PM E-DRIVE) and ethanol/biofuel blending (which reached E20). These are being actively implemented with measurable progress (e.g. near-complete broad-gauge electrification, E20 achieved), contributing to cleaner energy and transport, while overall environmental outcomes remain a continuing effort. Partial. (Note: the listed schemes are tracked individually under the Energy, Infrastructure and Transport sections; this entry reflects the manifesto’s summary framing.)
We will promote recycling programmes across the country. We will institutionalise recycling mandates across sectors to maximise mineral recovery from used products.
We will strengthen Mission LIFE, establishing a comprehensive repository encompassing both traditional and contemporary best practices, and fostering the global adoption of environmentally friendly lifestyles to promote sustainable living across the globe.
We will launch a series of programmes to address the growing concern over safe disposal of e-waste.
